Disappointing visit the spirit that emerges from this moment is "win little", 1 hour announced for the guided tour... we are still looking for the guide in the 4 rooms accessible to the visits, 30 min was more than enough for us to appreciate our disappointment.
Exceptional price of 9.6 euros instead of the usual 11, in my beautiful region of Burgundy, heritage days are free!!
A concept to be revisited, a restoration of the little that can be visited more than necessary...
Ps: obligatory passage through the bar at the entrance and at the exit to be sure that we do not leave dehydrated.

Beautiful setting and well kept Labyrinth/Maze and gardens, however it should be pointed out, that unless you speak & read French it is pointless to visit. There were only guide booklets in French. I speak English and a decent level of German and only very basic French but at no point did the young lad in the ticket office say "this is pointless to go in"

Great outing if you're a French-speaker. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the adventure of the Labyrinth and learn history at the same time. If you enjoy visiting Chateau, the guided tour is quite good. Make sure you give yourself enough time, as the Labyrinth really does take a number of hours. Great for a beautiful weekend activity in the Spring or Summer.

Visited during the recent cultural weekend, entrance was reduced to 8 euros (normally 15 for the chateau & labyrinth) so was very busy on a hot & sunny Sunday afternoon
We visited with French friends and they requested a guide in English for us, this was only available for the house but meant we could enjoy the guided tour.
The most enjoyable part was the labyrinthe which was luckily shaded due to the age of the trees and provided welcome relief from the heat, sadly all the clues to the labyrinthe are still in French so we were unable to participate in the quiz element but could enjoy the scenery and water obstacles
There were lots of child friendly places to play within the labyrinthe and I am sure they would enjoy the water gates so as long as you can read French to solve the clues and unlock the gates within the maze then visit and have a fab time

Nice time spent here. You have fun and refresh your history knowledge. If you do not understand french, it will be difficult to follow. I would not there with small children (<5), since they have at least to read and write French.

Makes the castle and the maze (the castle and the one with the puzzles).
A great day in the shade.
The visit to the castle is simple but informative and we enjoyed it (to do before the maze which is long enough and not tiring young children)
Ours were 4 and 8 years old and they loved it.

Despite the promise of shadow, the heat is unbearable, without air. The maze is poorly maintained, brambles protrude. The staff is unpleasant.

When are the Chateau and gardens open? I can see the Labyrinth only opens for a limited season each year, is that the case for the rest of the property too?
Thank you!
